The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!

[Forcing growth]

A spark of inspiration appears, and rotten wood takes root!

With a thought, Ni Kun lightly unleashed a divine power.

"Pop!"

A mysterious and wondrous energy instantly descended upon him, like a spring breeze caressing his face, bringing endless comfort and pleasure.

Followed by.

Ni Kun felt incredibly comfortable. His previously chaotic thoughts were as if blown away by a gentle breeze, and he suddenly felt enlightened.

"Buzz!"

That energy surged continuously within his body, like a cleansing of his very marrow.

however.

This energy, however, flows endlessly like water without a source, seemingly unable to find a stable foothold to exert its power.

"Um!?"

Ni Kun couldn't help but feel puzzled, muttering to himself, "What's going on? Could it be that my supernatural powers have failed?"

Before he could finish speaking...

A powerful pulling force suddenly struck, like a pair of invisible hands yanking, drawing Ni Kun's consciousness directly into the strange ancient tree.

Before he could even come to his senses...

"Pop!"

The mysterious and wondrous energy from before arrived in response, instantly enveloping the eerie ancient tree.

"Splash splash splash..."

The eerie ancient tree seemed to have been reborn, swaying wildly and emitting bursts of joyful sounds.

Followed by.

Stimulated by the strange energy, the entire tree suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, like a bright pearl set in the center of a golden disc.

Meanwhile, the shimmering green dots on the tree canopy began to slowly grow under the influence of strange energy.

In the blink of an eye.

"Waaaaah..."

When the light spots expand to the size of a walnut, each light spot transforms into a budding spore, resembling a peach or an infant.

"Um!?"

Ni Kun stared wide-eyed at what was happening before him, his face filled with disbelief.

however.

Upon prolonged viewing, however, it evokes a chilling feeling.

After listening carefully, a nameless fear welled up in my heart.

"suck!"

He gasped, and after regaining his composure, he pondered to himself, "Could it be that cultivating one's spiritual root can help the strange ancient tree grow?"

The only answer is to try!

So Ni Kun didn't hesitate to use his technique again—[Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow].

Of course.

The second time he used his supernatural powers, there was no reaction as before, and no real effect whatsoever.

The only gain!

The system notification that rang in his mind was: "[Ding! The Strange Ancient Tree has reached level ten. Only after encountering someone who can bestow upon you a life-giving flame can the host successfully awaken their spiritual root!]"

In the blink of an eye.

"oh!"

Ni Kun suddenly realized that the effect of the first time he used the Enlightenment of Spiritual Roots was just that it happened to meet the specific conditions for the growth of the strange ancient tree.

In fact, that green dot, which was originally the size of a peanut, was essentially a spore.

It's just that after being enlightened and stimulated, it grew to the size of a walnut.

but.

Based on his first nine years of compulsory education, Ni Kun's understanding of plant growth patterns allowed him to make further speculations.

He believes.

Based on the normal growth process of ordinary green plants, it is likely that the buds will not be able to flower and spread leaves until the strange ancient tree advances to the ninth level.

Only in this way can one eventually reach level ten and possibly reap the fruit of opportunity containing mysterious power!

In the blink of an eye, several more days have passed.

Although the time was short, many things happened in the port city.

Among them, the most troublesome was the "rumor" of the crown prince's death, which caused a great deal of concern among the residents about the safety of the city.

Furthermore, fearing that the port city would be drawn into the vortex of war again, many people left this prosperous county town to find a safer and more stable place to live.

Yes, what ordinary people desire in a good life is nothing more than a peaceful and prosperous life.

Faced with this unfavorable situation.

Ni Kun acted decisively, instructing Ni Yongxiao to reduce rents by half to retain customers, and simultaneously announcing plans to build over a dozen teleportation arrays within the port city to ensure that merchants and tourists could leave smoothly whenever they wished...

As a series of measures to stabilize public sentiment are implemented.

The once somewhat turbulent market has returned to its former bustling and prosperous state.

That morning.

The sun had just risen, and the first rays of golden sunlight fell upon the bamboo dwelling.

"Tap tap tap..."

A series of crisp, hurried footsteps could be heard approaching from afar.

"Ah-Xiao!"

Ni Kun picked up the steaming teapot from the table and, while brewing tea, warmly invited, "Come on, try my freshly brewed tea!"

"Father!"

As soon as Ni Yongxiao sat down, he picked up his teacup, tilted his head back, and gulped down a large mouthful of tea. After the burning sensation in his throat subsided a little, he exclaimed, "That feels good!"

"Um!"

Ni Kun smiled slightly and joked, "There's an old saying—you should marry a plump wife, and drink good tea while it's hot!"

Ni Yongxiao smiled wryly.

He then cleared his throat with two light coughs and said in a deep voice, "Father, the two people we selected to train met a tragic end on the day of the ancestral hall battle..."

Before he could finish speaking...

"Ugh!"

Ni Yongxiao couldn't help but sigh heavily, expressing his deep regret and helplessness about the matter.

"It's alright!"

Ni Kun patted Ni Yongxiao on the shoulder and comforted him, "Your father only has one more chance to force growth!"

Then.

Ni Kun slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of the fragrant tea, and stared at the tea in the cup. It was as if a figure was slowly emerging through the clear tea.

Yes, Ni Kun thought of a contestant—"Xiao Qi!"

The moment the name left his lips, Ni Kun slapped his thigh and declared decisively, "It's him!"

After a while.

Following his father's instructions, Ni Yongxiao led Ni Caiqi to the ancestral hall without stopping.

Look closely.

Today, Xiao Qi is noticeably different from before. Whether it's the style and quality of her clothes or her overall demeanor, she looks much better than before.

"Thump!"

Xiao Qi knelt before the memorial tablet, raised the burning incense above his forehead, and said loudly, "Ancestor above, I, Ni Caiqi, swear before this spirit tablet that I will use my sincere heart to uphold the family's teachings, enter the Dao to seek immortality, and dedicate myself to the cause. Now I am entrusted by the family, and in the future I will entrust the family to the cause, so that future generations may enjoy its shade..."

After saying that, he kowtowed several times.

However, what was unexpected was...

Ni Caiqi did not stop there.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to face Ni Kun, who was standing next to the memorial tablet, and respectfully kowtowed several times—"bang bang bang!"

Seeing this scene.

Ni Kun was taken aback at first, but soon burst into laughter.

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and effortlessly unleashed a divine technique—[Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow].

A spark of inspiration appears, and rotten wood takes root!
